| | Reagan was not able to muster a standing majority in Congress, and public opinion was slow, fitful, and ambiguous. | | | The Nixon Doctrine foundered in Vietnam, the Brezhnev Doctrine is in the process of foundering in Afghanistan, and the Reagan Doctrine is as dead as the Contra movement. | | | Thus the "Nixon Doctrine" called, after the historic meeting at Guam, for a new formula: the United States would supply arms; the countries at bay, the fighting men. |
